International Shoe Manufacturing Corporation is pleased to announce that the Company's wholly owned subsidiary, GeckoSystems, Inc., is launching their sales and marketing campaign for their mobile robot solutions. GeckoSystems, Inc. will market its products and technology through strategic relationships with retailers, distributors and OEM manufacturers in the security, home health care, military and medical industries.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, in July of 2005, there were 36,790,113 people over 64 years old. GeckoSystems has developed the CareBot(TM) Mobile Service Robot (MSR) to help assist in caring for this growing elder population. In the security and military industries, market gains will be driven by the heightened security awareness as government agencies and the air travel industry research technologies that can be integrated into their video surveillance and weapons of mass destruction (WMD) detection systems. According to a report published by the Freedonia Group, the U.S. security guard market alone is a $14 billion industry and has a projected growth rate of 7% through 2006. GeckoSystems has developed mobile robot solutions to cost-effectively assist in these critical areas of security.

How science fiction has become science fact:

"We often don't notice it, but Artificial Intelligence (AI) is all around us. It is present in computer games, in the diagnostics and cruise control in our cars, the servers that route our email, and in robotic cleaners and toys," said Martin Spencer, CEO and President of ISMC. "GeckoSystems' significant breakthroughs in the robotic AI field will help us build very sophisticated robots that will be tailored for each of the strategic markets that we have identified. The successful development of intelligent robot technology and related services is a crucial factor for economic growth and social development in the 21st century," continues Mr. Spencer. "In the United States, the market for security, professional and family health care is in a crisis for cost-effective answers for thousands of time-stressed and geographically dispersed medical professionals and families. GeckosSystems has developed an automatic, self-navigating robot that can be utilized to assist in all of these areas," he added.
